So it's going to be Kerry... very depressing.

[Strapping Buck]

Once again, the Democrat Party has left us out in the cold and are going to nominate a Republican-Lite candidate. Guess they have to appeal to all those union/hunter/flannel shirt Democrats in the wasteland of the red states. And just watch. As soon as the nomination is official, Kerry will move even more to the center-- a center that has moved more and more to right over the past 20 years.

Maybe I'm being too pessimistic, but look at what we might get in Kerry: someone who not only voted to give * the authority to attack Iraq-- either because he actually did believe it was necessary or because he was afraid to say what he really believed and be unpopular to the masses, neither of which is a good reason. Now, when a historic moment in the cause for gay marriage happens in his home state, a truly liberal and progressive moment, Kerry-- supposedly an advocate of gay-rights throughout his career-- announces to the whole world that he believes 'marriage' should be between a man and a woman. Gee, isn't that the same thing * says?

I'm sorry, I'm just so tired of this party taking us, its core, for granted at the national level. And I'm not saying Dean was the answer. I just don't know why they are so afraid of running a truly liberal, progressive campaign. Did you ever notice how when one of these guys is labeled a "liberal", they always try to explain it away--as if they're ashamed of the word? It's already beginning with Kerry.
